“167th story”
Once upon a time;
a king had a loyal right-hand man. The right-hand man had a saying; “It was for a good reason.”
He used this saying on any matter or occasion.
One day the king and his right-hand man were exploring the mountains.
And suddenly, the king’s hand got stuck in a stony place. They tried very hard to release the king’s hand, but unfortunately, he lost one finger.
The right-hand man said: “It was probably for a good reason.”
The king was in pain and got very angry about the right-hand man’s stupid comment and ordered to put him in a dungeon.
One year passed, and the king went to the mountain for hunting. A tribe attacked him and took the king as a prisoner.
The tribe’s belief was to sacrifice a human once a year for their Gods.
But concerning their Gods, that person had to be completely healthy.
When they saw the king doesn’t have a finger, they let him free.
Then the king remembered his right-hand man’s words when he was in pain of losing a finger. “It was probably for a good reason.”
The king ordered to free his right-hand man.
When the king told the right-hand man, tribe’s story, he said: “It was probably for a good reason.”
The king said: “Why?”
The right-hand man said: “If I weren’t in jail, I would be on that hunting with you, and the tribe would sacrifice me after finding you unhealthy.”
Many things happen for a good reason, and we don’t understand it at that painful, challenging moment.

Thank you ver much for the kindness, Laleh! Be well and stay save. I hope in CA its during the pandemic a little bit “slowing down”, here the ancient Prussian regularies taking place, and the official offices are working like never before. For them i just today have created 20 letter, now in the queue for faxing “five minutes before midnight”. Lol – They should have something for work on Friday, 13 too. 😉

Wow 20 letters, that’s a big job. Here in Toronto mostly is lock down, crazy year so far, businesses are suffering, some are declaring bankruptcies. It’s a sad situation here too. God bless dear Michael.

Credo che a volte non dovremmo chiererci perchè, o voler sapere per forza perchè le cose accadano. propabilemnte ognuno ha il suo destino segnato, e quel destino ci appartiene anche se a noi sembra che nel presente le cose vadano male poi potrebbero rivelarsi a nostro favore.
